"I struggled not to cry as each picture, depicting life and love and happiness, flashed on the screen during Thursday night’s National Eating Disorders Awareness (NEDA) Week presentation.

About Me

I am a curious person.
I love people, and abhor war and cruelty.
I value peace, tolerance, and above all, forgiveness.
Things often move me to cry or laugh or simply wonder at this world.
I am sometimes frightened, but I always return to strength.
I never give up.
I am a writer and I have achieved one of my lifelong dreams - earning my master's degree, and I am trying to help others using my skills.
I am a 51-year-old woman in recovery from anorexia, but I refuse to allow that to define me.
Welcome to my blog. I pray that you feel less alone in your own journey through life after your visit here.
I am Angela, and I am still learning about who I am and where I want to go in this life. The journey is endless...

My Goodreads review of "Black Like Me"

I've read this book several times and absolutely loved it. Therefore I am reading it again for my thesis.

An enlightening look how life was for African-Americans in the Southern United States during the early 1960s from the perspective of a white man who disguises himself as black for six weeks. A must read for those who are interested in race relations and American history.
